Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Toss the bread, oil, herbs, garlic and some seasoning in a mixing bowl to coat. Spread onto a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 5-7 mins, turning halfway, until golden.
- Mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, paprika and the juice of 2 lemon wedges in a bowl to combine. Stir through the cold water prawns and season to taste.
- Arrange the salad leaves in a single layer on a serving platter and spoon over the prawn cocktail. Top with the king prawns and croutons. Serve sprinkled with cayenne pepper and with the remaining lemon wedges on the side.
- Tip: To make this even speedier, swap the homemade sauce for Tesco Finest Marie Rose sauce, and use a pack of ready-made garlic and herb croutons.
